Python is a very popular programming language. It was created by Guido van Rossum and was first released in 1991.

Python Uses includes:

  1. web development that is the (backend and server side) of a web application.
  2. System scripting and automation.
  3. Mathematics and Analysis.
  4. And of course software development.

How Powerful is Python Programming Language and What Really can Python Programming Language Do?

Python language can work on different platforms like Windows, MacOS, Linux, Raspberry Pi and others. It uses simple syntax that is very similar to the English language making it easy to learn and understand.

Subsequently the syntax allows developers to write programs using fewer lines of code as compared to some other programming languages.

Additionally Python runs on an interpreter system. This means that the code can be executed as soon as it is written, thus making prototyping very quick. This further means that Python can be treated as a procedural method, an object-oriented programming language or as a functional way.

How Python is Used

a. Python can be used on a server to create web applications.

b. Used with other software to create workflows.

c. To connect to database systems to read and modify files.

d. To handle big data to perform complex mathematics.

e. Used for rapid prototyping and for production ready software development.

Comparing Python Syntax to Other Programming Languages

  1. Python was designed for readability.
  2. Python has some similarities to the English language.
  3. Python has influence from mathematics.
  4. Python uses new lines to complete a command instead of using semicolons and parenthesis.
  5. Python relies on indentation.
  6. Python uses whitespace to define scopes like loops, functions, and classes instead of using curly brackets.

Python comes in many versions there is python2.0 and python3.0. You can also code by writing in a text editor Python’s I D E meaning; Integrated Development Environment like:

a. Thonny

b. Pycharm

c. Netbeans

d. Virtual Studio Code

e. Eclipse

Next, we will learn how to create your own programming language 🙂
